Corruption and Polotics

In the previous chapters, I have discussed the polemics of the regional novel during the course of its evolution as a special category. An attempt was made there to trace their development in the British, Indian, and Telugu literary traditions. The British regional novel is a different phenomenon from that of the regional novel in India. Yet, there have been some important continuities in the genre. Preoccupations with landscape as also with identity conflicts have continued as distinctive components of the regional novel. As the introduction discusses, such developments are partly products of the socioeconomic milieu of the writers. In this concluding section, I return to that assertion and draw together some observations, discussions and arguments to offer my views on what might actually have gone into the making of the regional novel.

Firstly, I review the major queries regarding the nature of the "region" and the "regional novel" that have cropped up during the course of the thesis and consider how they might be explained. "There is no universally accepted definition of the region," observes Norton Ginsberg, (qtd. in Cohn 101) The study comes out with the hypothesis that the "region" cannot be given one particular identity and definition. When we come across labels like Regional College of Education, Regional Engineering College, etc, we are bound to associate the region with something local and inferior as opposed to the National and the superior. The renaming of institutes like Regional Engineering College as National Institute of Technology gives us an idea of the common assumptions

142 associated with the terms "region" and "nation". In these appellations, the region is

measured as inferior to the nation and therefore renaming it enables it to shed its smaller, provincial, local identity in favour of a broader,…...

1. INTRODUCTION
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is the responsibility of an organization for the impacts of its decisions and activities on society, the environment and its own prosperity.
Companies have a lot of power in the community and in the national economy. They control a lot of assets, and may have billions in cash at their disposal for socially conscious investments and programs. Some companies may engage in "green washing", or feigning interest in corporate responsibility, but many large corporations are devoting real time and money to environmental sustainability programs, and various social welfare initiatives to benefit employees, customers, and the community at large.

Introduction
Corruption can be defined as a spiritual or moral deviation from an ideal. Corruption come in different styles and that include bribery and funds embezzlement.
Corruption has been the number one menace in many countries of the world. It impacts countries in many ways, impacting economy and development in a negative way. Corruption tends to raise the cost of government and may lower the rate of infrastructure growth. Most importantly, corruption has a negative impact on capitalism and foreign investment in that; it changes the environment which in turns affects decisions and actions. Corruption causes discriminatory treatment along tribal, ethnic, race and class. It also impacts in decision making process.
Multinational corporations (MNCs) may be unable to compete in certain countries due to dishonesty by government officials, dependent upon a system of graft and bribery to approve and facilitate permits and various company operations. Corruption may be at the highest levels of government, where government decisions regarding military equipment, civilian aircraft, infrastructure or broad policy decisions about industrial subsidies are made, based upon favoritism rather than ethical weighing of facts. Corruption may involve elected officials and politicians as well as nonelected officials. Corruption may be voluntary and petty, for instance,......

“Corruption is Social Evil” “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
In its simplest sense, corruption may be defined as an act of bribery or misuse of public position or power for the fulfillment of selfish motives or to gain personal gratifications. It has also been defined as "Misuse of authority as a result of consideration of personal gain which need not be monetary".
In recent Centuries India has earned a place among the THREE most corrupt countries in the world. Corruption in India is a consequence of the nexus between Bureaucracy, politics and criminals.

...Corruption
Hi friends I choose to speak on now-so-hot topic “corruption”
I don’t want to be a pseudo intellect and do the blasphemy of judging the way of the protest implied by anna. Instead let us revisit what we have known since long.
In a theological form corruption can be defined as deviation from the ideal. Deviation from the ideal is not always wrong. It is when it inclines towards a moral degradation then it creates a grave concern. We have witnessed corruption in nearly all the system we interact with. And stating the de-facto status of no system being perfect, we can expect some form of deviation from the ideal. Again it is when the level of deviation is maligned then an alarming condition is reached.
It does not seem likely to limit the number of ways one can adopt to corrupt practices. But let me state some different forms which are pretty common.
1. Abusing the system.
This may refer to using the rules and regulation meant to protect the system in order, instead, to manipulate the system for a desired outcome. The desired outcome may not always be with a immoral intent.
2. Bribery.
It is an act implying money or gift given that alters the behavior of the recipient.
3. Nepotism
4. Cronyism
5. Embezzlement
6. Patronage
7. Lobbying
I wish to produce this endless list to highlight the fact that corruption is deep rooted in our system and is quite well spread. ndia is amongst the most corrupt countries of the world with a score......

Introduction
Corruption is a universal curse around the world and exists in all the countries as a common
phenomenon, both in developing or poorer countries and developed countries. The difference is
only of the degrees of corruption. In the last five years, leading politicians in U.K., Belgium, France,
Spain and Italy have been convicted of corruption and in fact, the entire European Commission

...Corruption is a form of dishonest or unethical conduct by a person entrusted with a position of authority, often to acquire personal benefit. Corruption may include many activities including bribery and embezzlement, though it may also involve practices that are legal in many countries.

Political corruption is the use of powers by government officials for illegitimate private gain. An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties, is done under color of law or involves trading in influence.
Forms of corruption vary, but include bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, gombeenism, parochialism patronage, influence peddling, graft, and embezzlement. Corruption may facilitate criminal enterprise such as drug trafficking, money laundering, andhuman trafficking, though is not restricted to these activities. Misuse of government power for other purposes, such as repression of political opponents and general police brutality, is also considered political corruption.
The activities that constitute illegal corruption differ depending on the country or jurisdiction. For instance, some political funding practices that are legal in one place may be illegal in another. In some cases, government officials have broad or ill-defined powers, which make it difficult to distinguish between legal and illegal......

Gratuities, in Law Enforcement, are when local businesses offer discounts on their products or offer free products to police officers. This could lead to corruption or problems in society if taken advantage of. An officer who has unethical behavior could fall into a “Slippery Slope.”
An example of “Slippery Slope” is as follows:
Officer Danny Glover is a 10 year veteran of Kaplan PD. During his shift, he always goes to a restaurant called the “Crabby Paddy” to eat lunch. The Crabby Paddy always provides a 50% discount to Officer Glover. Officer Glover has been eating there for years and knows the owner. One day, Officer Glover was working and observed a car weaving on the road. Officer Glover stopped the car and realized it was the Crabby Paddy owner. The owner was obviously intoxicated. Officer Glover knows that the owner lives down the street and lets him go, because he does not want to mess up the discount he receives at the restaurant.
Officer Glover made a bad decision because of the gratuity he receives. That owner could have driven down the street, hit a child, and killed him. This is one example of “Slippery Slope.” Officers receiving gratuities from people and letting people slide on crimes.
Another example of “Slippery Slope” is when officers demand a discount just because they are officers. Or when officers that are off......
